Ferengi are a species from StarTrek that was particularly highlighted in Deep Space 9. Their religion is commerce and their society is determined by profit.

The Ferengi believe that the universe is held together by the Great Material Continuum, also known as the Great River. The Ferengi believe that each part of the universe has too much of one thing, but not enough of another, and it is through the continual flow of the Great River that wants and needs can be fulfilled, if one navigates the River with sufficient entrepreneurial skill. By request and especially for Nicola, here are the complete Ferengi rules of acquisition.

Speaking for the current economy, it looks like the Ferengi are in the midst of taking over the planet! For example: Rule of Acquisition #26. The vast majority of the rich in this galaxy did not inherit their wealth; they stole it

Yes but commerce is what they hide behind, is it not? Communism requires a central bank right?
